Hadith 3254
Musnad of 'Abdullah bin al-'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib from the Prophet
It was narrated from Sa'eed bin Jubair that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting in the shade of his apartment - Yahya said: The shade was receding - and he said to his Companions: "A man will come to you who looks at you with the eye of a devil. When you see him, do not speak to him.” Then a man with bleary eyes came in and when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw him he called him and said: “Why are you and your companions reviling me?” He said: Wait here until I bring them to you. He went and brought them, and they started swearing by Allah that they had not said that and they have not done that. Then Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the words: "On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all together (for their account) then they will swear to Him and they swear to you (O Muslim). And they think that they have something (to stand upon) varily, they are liars..." (al-Mujadilah 58.14).
